I'm running into the issue of them not letting me use my own name and graphics. I couldn't even use my name to sign up even though they pulled my info from Instagram.
I followed exactly the instructions you gave in more of your videos on what to write and say when applying on Amazon Merch...I got accepted! Thank you.
Can you please tell me how you got accepted, because recently I was rejected even though I follow every step to get accepted but still.. did you reapply with a changed email address or phone number?
Man, the most comprehensive and straightforward content I've ever come across. Not to mention the golden tip on which platforms to invest time and energy in. I'm Brazilian, and here in Brazil, the content tends to be a bit shallow. I've watched more of your videos and I'm already starting to put the teachings into practice. Thank you so much for sharing. I want to come back here to show you my results. Big hug!
Thank you for your information. I followed your advice, was rejected at first, contacted support about reapplying I heard from others recently, told there wasn't such an option but there's a possibility that they may decide to change their policy one day (no guarantee), asked them if there were any issues with my application, and was accepted after being reviewed by someone else. After fiddling with it, I did find a few issues: Apparently it takes an undetermined amount of time for the design to be indexed and searchable. The brand store is still not available and the design is set to public search, but needs the exact web address to find currently - Edit: it's visible if you're using a location of the listed market. I made some mockups, but there doesn't seem to be an option for submitting additional images. Not sure if that option is available in a later tier. And Canada doesn't seem to be a deliverable option (placed in the US marketplace as .ca wasn't available).
Something I had no idea is all accounts don't start at tier 10. I applied 8 months ago got denied. Then a month later I got an accepted email and never reapplied. I stared off at tier 1000. The only thing I can think of is I am an Amazon influencer on another TH-cam Channel. Just figured this would be good to know.
@@segale2001 I wish I could remember. I hear it has been a lot harder the last several months. I did it10 months ago. I did get denied and then just random the approved it without be resubmitting.
A huge issue I run into as a designer is the limitation of having my designs forced into a small box on the shirt! So frustrating as a creative designer does ANYONE please have a recommendation for ALL OVER PRINT (AOP) for Amazon merch on demand designing. Example would be having the design go down the sleeves or all the way up to the collar etc
Good video but missing the how to part. Trying to find the "how to" set it up. I'm in an accepted but something is missing. It looks like an influencer only pages.
It is so damn difficult to get accepted. I almost gave up. Just might apply again after this video. Hoping for the best. Thank you for the video and detail guide in brief.
It's definitely worth it once you're accepted. It opens up an entire new passive sales channel. That video in the description above with the application tips should be super helpful too. I hope you get in!
Only two weeks wait to find out if we're accepted or not... Good to know. I'm in Japan so assume I'll hit a bump filling out the tax part. We actually have a tax agreement with the IRS where we don't need to reveal our personal identity number due to privacy concerns. I'm hoping that it isn't an issue.
Great insights and experience. I applied to Amazon MOD on a Thurs and got accepted 5 days later. Its really too bad there is no tutorial as to how to get your first few products in your store. It took a few hours to figure out how to narrow the upload down to the 2 products thats allowed to start. Then once you do; all hell breaks loose with what looks like your meager offering is all over the place and doesn't appear like what you uploaded. Its very confusing. Does anyone know of a more detailed guide or tutorial to clarify for newbies?
They have various kinds of t-shirts, tank top, long sleeve shirts, hoodies, PopSockets grip, tote bag, throw pillow, and iPhone cases (Samsung phone cases were canceled recently).
I've been accepted and tried making shirts but it keeps asking what brand of shirt? I don't know where to set up the print on demand I guess? Dunno. Help please. Thanks
I have been following all of your videos and have learned allot for print on demand i am now ready to for Amazon understand now how to change the pixels to what amazon requires 4500 x 5400 in placeit but what i need to know is how to change the 96dpi to 300dpi please if can answer that it would be greatly appreciated
That’s awesome to hear! The dpi is actually not a requirement so you can leave it at 96 with no issues. They recommend 300 for the best possible printing quality, but it’s truly optional. I’ve bought samples printed at 72dpi and the print is still perfect 👍 I hope that’s helpful!
Why is it so hard to get approved? Once you are denied you can not use other emails. I tried it but they kept saying you already applied with that new email…wtf how do you get approved?
Hello Greg I love your channel! Besides t-shirts and mugs I have many ideas to sell on Amazon but they don’t offer as many products. Could you give me an advice of how to sell other products besides the ones merch on demand offers?
Hi Greg i’m interested in purchasing your $10 sayings for T-shirts. However, if everyone purchases it wouldn’t everyone have the same saying. Just wanted your advice. I think it’s a great idea, but I don’t wanna buy some thing that other people have the same and we’re competing with each other. Love your videos by the way very helpful.
Hey great question! The idea is to use the phrases to create designs in niches that others haven't found. There are pretty much unlimited sub-niches that don't have these phrases in them yet so that's where they are best used. More on finding those niches here if you need it: th-cam.com/video/I3p1ow63i-A/w-d-xo.html (it's towards the beginning of the video) Hope that helps!
I Have applied for Merch on demand I provided Genuine Info also Wrote a Professional Letter and Description after taking a time. BUT at last Amazon Email Saying we are not accepting any individuals Request for MOD Currently. And Got rejected.
Dang! Well I wouldn't give up because you can always reapply with a different email address. I've spoken to many people who have been accepted on the 2nd or 3rd try!
@GregGottfried Hi surprised by the size of the designs.. It seems huge. I know amazon reccommends that size, but can we have something smaller being accepted? I'm thinking 12 inches by 15 or something like that? Also, it seems to be the size of the "artboard" that needs to be that size versus the actual design's, correct? My text-only (often 1 word) would look add with the 4500 pix X5400 pix ratio... thanks
Greg I tried to sign up with a new account, but then it says I requested too many OTPs. It happened more than once. The question is that I don't know how to remove the mobile number from another account created for KDP. Maybe this way I will sign up. If there is any idea even from anyone. Thank you!
thank you that was really a good video .. its crazy how much amazon will take and how much they gonna gif in return i still think that's just not enough money for a person that work hard on there stuff
Hey, I would really appreciate if you can answer my query that do I need to register amazon seller account or amazon merch account is different. Further you said no monthly fees etc however they would charge on each sale right? Last thing when setting up Amazon Seller account it ask for credit card however don't have one what can I do? Use someone's else credit card?
Your video impressed me a lot. I am a student in Bangladesh. I am planning to do this kind of work. Can you have some time for tips? How can I contract with you?
I applied for Merch they denied me . I didn’t upload a current shop not sure if that’s why. Can you suggest the current tshirt market to use for those getting started. I want to use Printful but can’t afford the fulfillment fees at the beginning.
I'm 16 years old now Can i get into this? Or should i use a patent acc Can i use a minor acc i already have cuz i also have money in it . The minor acc is of a govt bank itself Im from india btw Looking forward for your reply.
Hi Greg) Thanks for the video! Have you ever used Canva to create designs for T-shirts? If yes, please advise about copyright. Is it equally safe to use Canva as Placeit?
Hey yes I have! Canva is not 100% copyright free so it's a bit messy for POD. This is for both their free and paid plans. It's possible to use them but it's not ideal.
Hey Greg , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?
I’m from Pakistan . I’m interested starting print on demand business tell about that it’s possible working on it from Pakistan.please let me know as soon as possible
The second design i upload is not goood amazon told me i have to change it otherwise next time they will close my account but i don't know wrere is the wrong with the design ...i check trademark and copyright and i don't really know ... Can i send you the design so you can check it? 😢

This is great info .. and amazon merch is still rather hidden... and the zero cost entry is FANTASIC !!
I agree 🙌

Hello Greg quick question I only have a Smartphone to work with, will I be able to do this with only having a smartphone or do I need a laptop??

The current trends tip is no joke!
😎 pretty good right!?
Greg,
Do you have a video on what to do if you get denied from Amazon?
The only issue is that if you get turned down by Amazon once they don’t let you resubmit

btw the video was really helpful.
Does amazon merch on demant only make t-shirts or can we also put our designs on thing like canvasses and wall decor?
They have various kinds of t-shirts, tank top, long sleeve shirts, hoodies, PopSockets grip, tote bag, throw pillow, and iPhone cases (Samsung phone cases were canceled recently).
Please make a video on spreadshirt/spreadshop.
how about if you don't get accepted to Amazon there is a way Printify integrates with Amazon
Hello. Please tell me how you promote T-shirts? I added 10 pcs, but nothing is sold.
I don't see how to apply? Do you have a link please? So cool you got accepted. Drag nothing has sold yet. Hang in there! I bet you will
I've been accepted and tried making shirts but it keeps asking what brand of shirt? I don't know where to set up the print on demand I guess? Dunno. Help please. Thanks

What percentage do they take ?
Remember they are buying the materials and physically producing the item plus shipping. So they will be your biggest overhead of course
@@hmu05366looks like 75% is taken if the shirt sells for $19.99 and you get $4.89
